Letter from Fitzhugh Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Fitzhugh Lee received Theodore Roosevelt’s letter when he was thinking of how much he missed him, especially as it was Roosevelt’s birthday. He discusses the “bad luck about the Constabulary business” in Manila, Philippines. The “hum-drum” of garrison life is tiring, and Lee wants to get his troops out. He appreciates Roosevelt wanting him in the next “outfit” he organizes and hopes it will happen. Several French regiments have outstanding offers for him to join in case of conflict with Germany. Lee wishes Roosevelt could visit Manila to see the infrastructural improvements. The country is unsettled as the people think a Democratic president would grant self-rule.

Letter from James Rudolph Garfield to Theodore Roosevelt

James Rudolph Garfield is sorry he could not wait to see Theodore Roosevelt in New York, as he had to leave for a business trip. He was glad to hear about Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt’s improvement from Frank Harper. Garfield wants Roosevelt’s opinion on the action against the United States Steel Corporation, as he heard nothing that made him suspect Elbert H. Gary deceived them. The case illustrates the difference between destructive litigation and constructive legislation. He feels that the government’s current position is destructive to legitimate business and comments on the role of courts.
